US President-elect Donald Trump. REUTERS/Mike Segar President-elect Donald Trump has responded to the reporting of unverified claims that Russian operatives have compromising intelligence on him, writing on Twitter on Wednesday morning, "Russia has never tried to use leverage over me."

"I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA," Trump wrote. "NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!"

Trump was responding to a story first reported by CNN on Tuesday that said classified briefing materials given to both President Barack Obama and Trump last week indicated that Russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information on the president-elect. BuzzFeed later released the complete dossier compiled by an ex-British foreign intelligence officer detailing the claims summarized in the briefing.

"Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to 'leak' into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany?" Trump wrote.
